From a plumber's perspective, Glick's father is definitely an outlier in this world. In this world, there are definitely people who care about the outside world, and there are also people who are trying to uncover the secret behind the energy storm.
, there are even people who worry that the world will one day stop functioning, but under normal circumstances, people who worry about these things are mostly well-informed people, and their position determines the knowledge they have access to, just like "
The captain of the "Hope" who is quite legendary among the people is said to be a high-ranking monk from the Ayutthaya Senate in the past. Press ctrl + d to quickly collect """
But Glick's father was just a plumber. He was born and raised in an inconspicuous town called "Condenser" and had been dealing with metal sorting all his life. So his knowledge was really
It can only make people look at it with admiration.
No wonder even a seemingly generous and peaceful old man like Barnard would make a "cranky" evaluation of old Glick. As a civilian, old Glick was indeed too unsociable. Perhaps he was just a person in the eyes of ordinary people in this world.
He belongs to the group with severe paranoia of being persecuted. Of course, his "paranoia" is 100% true.
Glick showed us many things about his father, including creaking data terminals, flickering holocrons, worn notebooks and drawings. After hundreds of thousands of years, many things have been destroyed.
It has been polished by the years and has almost lost its original appearance. Even the empire's creations, which can theoretically exist forever, have been continuously damaged in the years after the war. And Glick's father who likes "whimsical" is in these messes and confusions.
He deduced the truth of the world from the records, and came to the astonishing fact that this world has been destroyed once, and everything now will eventually dry up.
If even a plumber can discover the truth, then what are the people in the world doing who are more qualified to discover it?
Sandora and I thought of this at the same time.
Children are children after all. Although he stayed up late due to the excitement during the day, Glick was unable to resist the lack of physical strength in the end. He rubbed his eyes, said good night to us, and went back to his cabin. This child
He wanted to arrange accommodation for the guests, but he also knew that his small iron house was not a good place to entertain guests at all. He knew that we had our own space and equipment, so he naturally had a way to solve his own accommodation.
problem, so I went back to sleep first.
Originally, everyone could teleport back to the Imperial Admiral and spend the night in the comfortable royal rest area, but spending a bleak night in such a post-apocalyptic world seems to be a novel experience, so Qianqian (I believe many people have guessed)
When the time came, Qian Qian’s suggestion would definitely be the first one to pop up) and she enthusiastically pulled us to build a pavement outside the town...
Fortunately, Sandora has set up space shielding and triggering devices around it to prevent possible nocturnal patients from discovering a row of corpses lying on the avenue outside the town and causing panic. Lying in the warm sleeping bag, my moods fluctuated one after another.
, I thought about the classic joke about two people sleeping in the wild only to find that their tent was stolen. I thought about the bitter experience of a buddy sleeping in the wilderness with a snake getting into his sleeping bag. I thought about what would happen if that buddy was called Bell.
This snake will have the experience of many hard-working people. More importantly, I thought that it is easy to go to the warm, comfortable and fresh air spaceship cabin to rest, but I have to live in this place with an air pollution index of six skulls.
What a stupid thing to do to build a floor on a scrap metal planet...
"Experience life, experience life."
Qian Qian's bright eyes flashed in the dim night light. She was looking here with big eyes, because we spread a large piece of high-speed polymerization gel on the ground, which is almost a sheet covering an area of
There was a big bed of more than ten square meters, so she simply wrapped herself in a sleeping bag and rolled over me, like a caterpillar. "People have imagined it when they watched movies before, what if in such an apocalyptic world, wrapped in a sleeping bag?"
It must be such a romantic thing to have a warm sleeping bag and watch the world fall asleep for the last time. Now this dream has finally come true..."
I:"……"
Lin Xue's muttering voice came from two meters away: "Mumu, you really should take Qianqian to have a look at her brain when you have time. Do you think some of the characters in her words just now are logically normal!"
Okay, let’s do it again, me: “…”
When you are with Qianqian, things will always happen that make you speechless but very happy in the end. This may be one of this girl's wonderful talents, which is to put herself as the center and make everyone nearby
Be happy.
We are always pulled by her to do this and that, and her sudden ideas make everyone jump. For example, she happily formed her own supernatural organization, or she pulls everyone together in the middle of the night.
It sounds completely silly to make a bed on top of this metal ruin and discuss how romantic the end of the world is, but I have to admit that this is indeed a rare experience.
Later, I slowly concluded a reason, that is, the reason why being with Qianqian is so fun is because only with her can you find an excuse for your childish fun, and then have fun.
One scene - "Because I have to be with Qian Qian, I have no choice but to go crazy with her." But after all, when did I not enjoy it as much as she did?
We gradually grow up, become more worldly, and gradually mature, we wear off our sharpness, and throw away our childishness and innocence. We wrap ourselves up in a calm and capable shell, so many silly things that we haven't done enough have to be done.
Not being thrown into the corner of memory, but for Qian Qian, the process of wiping away innocence seems to have never started. Her heart will always stay in the era when grass grows and orioles fly, and she can jump over walls and play with her childhood sweethearts.
, she is out-of-the-box, clever, willful, and full of childishness. She doesn’t have to worry about her own identity or the opinions of others. She is immersed in whimsical happiness. She also pulls us crazy together, making everyone feel happy.
The excuse of the shell is used to let out the childishness that is usually suppressed and dare not be released - such as sleeping in the ruins.
This is perhaps her strongest point, a side that I, Sandora, Sister, Lin Xue, and everyone will always be unable to match.
"Ajun," Qianqian said with only one head emerging from the sleeping bag. She had always dreamed of getting into a sleeping bag and hiding in the wilderness until dawn, just like in the adventure novels she read when she was a child. Now her wish finally came true.
"This looks like a big bed."
Me: "...Oh."
"Ajun sleeps in the same bed with many girls."
"puff!"
When this girl talks, her brain is working in another dimension, right!?
Lin Xue's squeaking sound came from not far away, as if she was about to suffer internal injuries from suppressing her laughter. Sandora didn't make a sound, but it could be seen from the moment her body stiffened that her elder sister let out a faint sigh on the other side:
"...even I am included in this, Ajun, we should really check Qian Qian's head when we have time."
The other person who stayed here to accompany Qian Qian to sleep on the floor was Yakumo Lan, but now the fox didn't care about talking to us. She was trying hard to stuff her nine tails into the sleeping bag. This was not easy. She was
After half an hour of fussing about it, I have just stuffed the sixth item in, and there is no room left in the sleeping bag. In fact, I am very curious about one thing. As a general animal with nine tails, she really needs to be covered with a quilt.
What?
"Lan, can you help me?"
I turned my head and looked at the big fox not far away who had almost turned himself into a ball. Zi Ma asked me to take this guy out to see the world, and said she could be our assistant, but now it seems that besides this fox,
It is useful when used as a bed for mercury lamps or small bubbles, but at other times it is just a cute transmitter.
"No, I can do it myself - the sleeping bag is such a strange thing. Why didn't it leave room for the tail when it was designed?"
I rolled my eyes speechlessly: "Because we don't have tails. Just take your time, and be aware that the hair on the tail has just grown. Don't cry if you get it off."
Lan may have agreed vaguely, but now my eyelids were heavy and I couldn't hear anything clearly. I adjusted the pillow under my head that didn't match the sleeping bag but was forced to use by Bingtis.
After finishing it, I simply fell into sleep.
The dream only lasted a short time. Maybe this environment was not suitable for people to rest. I was drowsily jolted by a sudden burst of air-conditioning, and then I woke up.
There is darkness all around. In this ruined world, artificial lights are precious because they require extra energy. No one will set up street lights in the wilderness, even if this "wilderness" is only one kilometer away from the nearest settlement.
Only a dim red ring can be seen high in the sky, which is the outer space fusion reactor at the lowest power providing minimum night lighting and temperature maintenance for this world.
The nighttime temperature here is really low. It seems that the artificial atmosphere on this ruined planet is not very powerful and is not efficient enough in preserving temperature. The surrounding temperature is only about ten degrees. Fortunately, for our bodies, the ambient temperature is
Classes have long been out of the scope of consideration.
Qian Qian was sleeping quietly next to her, with her body facing towards her, slightly curled up like a baby. It was rare to see her sleeping in a better-looking manner. I think the semi-enclosed structure of the sleeping bag played a vital role in maintaining her sleeping posture.
function.
There was no sun, moon or stars in the sky, so I couldn't tell what time it was. I could only read it from the information link and found that I had only slept for less than thirty minutes.
Maybe it was due to the unexpected insomnia caused by being in a strange environment. I don't feel sleepy at all now. After lying there boredly for a few minutes, I still got out of my sleeping bag and planned to walk around. Maybe moderate exercise can help.
I can fall asleep, and of course I am a little curious about the scenery of the world in the middle of the night.
The post-apocalyptic world is silent at night. It seems that some philosopher has said that there are only two periods of time when the earth has the quietest and purest night. The first period is before the birth of human civilization, and the second period is from the end of the world.
Starting from the second night, this has now been confirmed: when human civilization loses the power to make noise, the world can really be so quiet.
Unknowingly, we were hundreds of meters away from where everyone was camping. After turning around a hill formed by a turret armor plate inserted diagonally into the ground, we saw an endless land of scrap metal in front of us. Sharp and twisted steel stood on the ground.
In the deep night, there are countless skinny and withered arms that are like grabbing the sky from hell. His enhanced vision allows him to see these weird and craggy alloy bones in such dim light, but he cannot dispel the effects of these alloy bones on him.
The weird atmosphere.
It's like walking on the corpse of a rotting giant. Everything on this ruined planet is exuding the stench of death. The wreckage of giant starships that looked somewhat majestic in the daytime have now turned into ghosts in the darkness.
The monotonous silhouette, under the simplest effects of light and darkness, leaves only the desolation of the end of the world and no trace of beauty.
The path under my feet was the frame beam of an unknown spacecraft. After walking along it for a long time, I found myself at the end of the road and standing on a flying cliff.
This flying cliff may be the joint of the battleship. The special interface section allows it to form a precipitous spectacle that stretches out tens of meters from the cliff below. I feel that I may have arrived at the other end of this metal station, and there is a strange place in front of me.
The small basin, "Condenser" town should be on the opposite side of this small basin - in the direction behind you.
The surrounding temperature seemed to be lower, as if even the final thermal radiation from the fusion reactors in outer space had stopped. The world was immersed in unprecedented silence, and I stood in this strange silence for a while, until suddenly
I felt a low commotion coming from beneath my feet.
Depressed, low, and spreading slowly, it seems as if an unimaginably huge beast is slowly awakening from the depths of the earth. Some kind of low-frequency sound wave that is almost impossible to distinguish with human ears is being transmitted from the tens of thousands of kilometers of metal earth below.
, forming a dizzying and nauseating resonance in the air, many chaotic pictures seemed to flash through my mind at once, and I vaguely saw the whole picture of this ruined planet.
In the deep darkness, it shivered, and then its body was quickly covered with dark red cracks.
The fantasy in his mind and the scene in front of him suddenly overlapped, and a sudden and long scream sounded in his ears, and then, the earth began to split in front of his eyes.
A crack suddenly opened in the small basin in front of him, and bright energy sparks spewed out from the crack. The crack was only tens of meters long at first, but in just a few seconds, it exploded to the point of sight.
Beyond the horizon, it connects with more and wider cracks spreading there, forming a chaotic network of shining energy sparks covering the entire earth. Blue-white psionic sparks jump between the metal fragments, heating rapidly.
These wreckage until their edges turned fiery red just like in that fantasy. I looked at the great changes in front of me in a groggy state, thinking that the people in the town may not be aware of this huge disaster, but they don't know why it happened.
No interest in taking action.
It seems that I have become a bystander, watching the earth fall apart in front of my eyes as if watching a documentary that has already happened. The ruined planet that has been silent for hundreds of thousands of years is stretching its body, shaking off the dust on the surface of its body.
, so everything was instantly overturned.
The crack extending from the basin suddenly turned in a direction and extended to the feet in an instant. Then, the suddenly expanding crack swallowed him up without any suspense. What could be heard next to his ears was the sound of the wind caused by the body falling at high speed...
…
Everything weird came to an abrupt end here. When his eyes suddenly opened, he still saw a quiet night in front of him. Dim fusion reactors hung in space three thousand kilometers away, evenly arranged in the sky, like voltages one by one.
The insufficient tungsten filament lamp left only a dark red halo emitting feeble light.
The disintegrating earth and the sound of the reactor starting up from the depths of the earth disappeared. After a few stunned seconds, I realized that I had just had a ridiculous dream.
Rubbing my eyes and waking up a little, I suddenly felt a heaviness in my chest. I looked down and saw a silly face that was half asleep. It was Qian Qian. This girl was almost completely overlapping.
My posture is like that of a white crane spreading its wings, and my sleeping bag has disappeared...
It seems that the scene in the previous dream is indeed absurd. Even a sleeping bag cannot stop Qian Qian from sleeping in a miraculous way. I feel that except for Tavel's coffin cabin, nothing in this world can stop Qian Qian from sleeping.
It was so cute when I was there.
Putting Qian Qian aside gently, I stood up and walked to the edge of the campsite, carefully stepping over Yakumo Lan who had rolled to my feet at some point. This big fox seemed to have won the final victory last night.
Victory, she stuffed all nine of her tails into the sleeping bag. The only regret was that she forgot herself outside...
That's right, just as you have imagined, this nine-tailed girl who doesn't know what to think tucks her tail into the bed, but sleeps naked outside. She really likes to sleep naked.
As soon as I glanced at the fox, a conspiratorial voice came from behind me: "Mumu, do you want to take another look? Do you believe that I will wake up Sandora and Qianqian?"
My whole body was agitated, I quickly looked at my nose, mouth, and eyes, and my heart was filled with anger. I threw aside a beautiful fox who liked to hang naked in front of my eyes, and turned to Lin Xue with a silly smile: "Good morning, girl.
.”
"Morning? It's late."
Lin Xue had long been dressed neatly, and her wet hair still looked like she had just been combed. She looked up at the still dark night, and her soft words carried along the night wind, "It's already morning, but those
